Thanks to cheap flights, easily accessible and frequent rail and sea links, France is still a favourite destination for hundreds of thousands of Brits year on year - many consider buying a second home there and more and more are considering relocating there permanently.

Would you like to profit from this trend? If you are considering getting in on the popular concept of French self-build, then look no further.

Our French Land plots are in a 'lotissement' arrangement, which means that roads and utilities are already provided, along with planning permission. We can even organise the build project for you. Alternatively, you can simply keep the land as an investment and sell your plot in the future for a handsome profit. Either way, land plots like these in France are very hard to come by and represent a truly excellent investment.

An excellent way to invest in property in France is through buying a leaseback property which benefits from a government-backed VAT-refund incentive, designed to encourage investment
in tourist residences. Through freehold ownership of an apartment or cottage that is leased back to a management company for a minimum period of 9 years, investors benefit from guaranteed annual returns from their fully managed and maintained property with relatively low up-front costs and no ongoing maintenance or running charges.

Main features of a leaseback property

What does leaseback mean?

Investors buy the freehold of a property outright but lease it back to a management company who specialise in the tourist management, maintenance and rental of these properties for a minimum 9-year period. In return owners receive a guaranteed annual return, irrespective of occupancy of the property, NET of all communal charges, maintenance and running costs.

The Management Company are uniquely and very importantly the developers and the managers of the properties, with 6.6 million clients staying in one of over 250 residences in 6 European countries each year so have a very clear vested interest in the quality construction, location and ongoing maintenance of the properties.
